How Precision Machining Keeps Global Industries Running

Fasteners are used in every industry to hold parts together, and selecting the right type is important for performance and safety. Among the common options, high tensile and stainless steel fasteners are widely used, but they have different . purposes.

High tensile fasteners are made from alloy steel and are heat-treated to increase strength. These fasteners are used where heavy load or strong clamping is required, such as in construction machines, automotive parts and industrial equipment. Their main benefit is high strength, making them suitable for demanding applications. However, they can rust if exposed to moisture unless coated or galvanised.

Stainless steel fasteners are made from chromium-rich steel that can naturally resists rust and corrosion. These are mainly used in outdoor and moisture-prone areas, including solar structures, marine fittings, food processing units and chemical plants. They are durable in harsh weather conditions, but they are not as strong as high tensile fasteners in load-bearing capacity.

Selection depends on the specific need. For high strength and pressure-based use, high tensile fasteners are recommended. For long life in humid or corrosive environments, stainless steel fasteners offer better reliability.
